Delano Hotel BOUTIQUE HOTEL
( MAP GOOGLE MAP ;
305-672-2000; www.delano-hotel.com ; 1685 Collins Ave; r $430-650, ste
from $899; )
The Delano opened in the 1990s and immediately started ruling the South Beach roost. If
there's a quintessential 'I'm too sexy for this song' South Beach moment, it's when you
walk into the Delano's lobby, which has all the excess of an overbudgeted theater set. 'Ma-
gic mirrors' in the halls disclose weather info, tide charts and inspirational quotes. The
pool area resembles the courtyard of a Disney princess's palace and includes a giant chess
set; there are floor-to-ridiculously-high-ceiling curtains in the two-story waterfront rooms;
and the bedouin tent cabanas are outfitted with flat-screen TVs. Rooms are almost pain-
fully white and bright; all long, smooth lines, reflective surfaces and sexy, modern, luxuri-
ous amenities.
Tides BOUTIQUE HOTEL
( MAP GOOGLE MAP ; 305-604-5070; www.tidessouthbeach.com ; 1220 Ocean Dr; r $280-625,
ste $1000-4000; )
The Tides' ocean-fronting rooms are icy cool, with their jumbled vintage, ocean organic
and indie vibe. The pure-white bedding is overlaid by beige, tan and shell, and offset with
cream accents. Rooms come with telescopes for planetary (or Hollywood) stargazing, and
the lobby, bedecked with nautical embellishments, looks like a modern sea god's palace.
Redbury South Beach BOUTIQUE HOTEL
( MAP GOOGLE MAP ;
855-220-1776; http://theredbury.com/southbeach ; 1776 Collins Ave; r
from $260; )
What sets the Redbury apart is its refusal to toe the line of identikit South Beach minimal-
ist rooms. Rather, the interior here references art across the 20th century, 1960s psychede-
lia and sleek comfort. A rooftop pool makes for some chilled out lounging, while the
lobby has an early-20th-century, Gatsby-era-glam vibe.
